    Parting out 2006 FJR

    Selling a bunch of parts from my 2006 FJR. The bike was wrecked and I have finally given up that I am ever going to redo it. I am listing the part, asking price, weight, and dimensions of the box that it is packed in so that you can estimate shipping. All of the measurements are in inches. -...

    2006 FJR A

    Selling my 2006 with 40k miles. It was wrecked in 2010, I think it is safe to say that I am not going to put it back together. The bad: Rear subframe is bent Front forks bent Front cowling is rashed. I bought some replacement cowling off from Ebay, but it is not in the perfect condition it...

    Questions about taps and dies

    Once or twice a year I get myself into a situation that requires a tap or die. There is a common theme to these: 1) It always happens late at night when all of the stores are closed. 2) It always happens with a bolt I don't have the tap/die for. Given the small collection I have so far this is...

    Make him drive a Yugo

    Texas man crashes his Bugatti Veyron while talking on his cell phone. While funny in one way, it really makes me sad.

    Difference in triple clamp US versus Canadian

    I'm in the process of buying a triple clamp from Don in Canada. He pointed out that while ordering his Heli clamp he had to get the Canadian/Euro spec version - they do have a different ignition system than the US version. Did a quick search of online parts fiches from the US and Canada and...

    Where are the steering head stops?

    After my get off a month ago I just got my FJR back (bought it back from Progressive for $900). Parked it in the garage and the handlebar when turned to the left is almost touching the tank, misses by maybe 1/4". The other side seems to be fine from what I remember. So, where is the steering...

    v65 very short ride

    Typing with one hand at the moment, so will keep it brief: left hander at 60mph +- 10mph, generous dose of throttle, flat track imitation, almost recovered it, didn't. Sliding, rolling, pain. Think I must have high sided as the bike skidded on it's right. I remember thinking "Holy shit I've...

    PCIII custom map

    Here is a link to the custom map I had made for my bike. As the title says I did the Cdog airbox mod, put on the Holeshot header, slipons, DB killers, and no Barbarian mod. You can find the map at the bottom of the page. I am not going to make any claims on performance gains. Maybe it's faster...

    drilling a pilot hole

    Probably not new information, but as an alternative to grinding down a broken bolt and center punching I use a dremel with a small engraving cutter bit: numbers 105 and 106. These bits have a round head and do not walk on uneven surfaces. The small bits can be used to make a whole large...

    Need a web page provider

    In the last year Road Runner has changed the way they host personal web pages and IMO they screwed it up. So I am looking for a web hosting company with two basic needs: 1) I can design my page offline (using a WYSIWYG html editor) and upload using ftp. 2) No banners/advertising in my page to...

    ever scrape the exhaust mount?

    I'm in the process of mounting my holeshot header when I noticed that the ride side exhaust hanger has been ground. I can't get a good pic of it, but you can see the area circled in red: The hanger also looks like it has been a little bit. :blink: I can't figure out how this happened, the...

    farkling the HB tire changer

    After using the HB changer for a year I decided to make some improvements. The first thing I did was remove that ridiculous post that is supposed to hold the motorcycle attachment from rotating on the base. Then I drilled a hole and bolted the MC attachment to the base (you can see the bolt...
